Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 559

Chapter 559 Not Much To

Look At

The next morning, in the dining hall of the Emerald Hotel, Sadie sat by the window, a simple breakfast laid out on the table

in front of her.

She held her fork in one hand, while the other scrolled through the tablet beside her plate.

The screen was filled with paragraphs upon paragraphs of detailed information about various collaborative projects.

She was so engrossed in what she was reading that she didn’t immediately notice when someone joined her.

Noah pulled the chair across from her and gracefully took his seat. It wasn’t until he picked up his cutlery that Sadie finally

realized he was there.

She lifted her gaze and found Noah staring at her. A flicker of annoyance crossed her face.

He was like a bad penny that kept turning up.

Sadie put her fork down and spoke in an aloof voice. “This dining hall is huge, Mr. Noel. Can’t you find yourself another table? I’m not interested in sharing, you see.”

Noah was unfazed by her not–so–subtle attempt to make him leave.

He plucked the napkin from his lap and dabbed at the corners of his mouth, even though he hadn’t started eating yet.

For some reason, he found that annoying Sadie was kind of fun.

“Sorry,” he said with an innocent shrug. “I lost my wallet yesterday. I’m afraid I have no choice but to intrude upon you, Ms.

Hudson.”

Sadie’s lips twitched.

Only he could deliver such a flimsy excuse with a straight face.

The esteemed president of the Burgess Group lost his wallet? Ha! What a joke!

But she couldn’t be bothered to argue with him, let alone point out his fakery.

Sadie locked her tablet and made to rise from the table.

If Noah wasn’t going to leave, then she was going to do it herself.

But she hadn’t even got to her feet when Tina rushed over with a troubled expression.

“Sadie,” Tina called out, and Sadie noticed that a woman was trailing behind her.

This second woman was all decked out in luxury brands, and she had impeccable makeup, but her eyes were blazing with

unmistakable resentment,

<Chapter 559 Not Much To Look At

Sadie recalled seeing this woman at the banquet back at Splendor Hotel–she and Daren had caught her having sex with

Nathan in the second–floor lounge.

Tina was just about to explain the situation, but Ophelia couldn’t wait.

She stepped forward and scrutinized Sadie with an arrogant, hostile gaze. Her upper lip then curled into a sneer.

“I thought you were some stunning beauty,” Ophelia said sarcastically. “It turns out you’re just an old bitch. You’re not

even much to look at!”

Sadie paused before calmly leaning back in her seat. to assess her uninvited visitor.

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

Ophelia had come raring for a fight, that much was clear.

It wasn’t hard to guess her reason, either. Ophelia had likely come after hearing about her and Nathan’s so–called

engagement.

It seemed that Ophelia had genuinely fallen for Nathan. Unfortunately for her, that rascal did not reciprocate her feelings.

“Miss Johnson,” Sadie said slowly, “what brings you here this early?”

Ophelia scoffed and rolled her eyes, irritated by Sadie’s composure.

Then she pulled a gold–embossed invitation out of her purse and tossed it on the table in front of Sadie. She did it in a

manner that suggested she was doing Sadie a favor in some way.

Ophelia raised her chin, looking down her nose at Sadie as she said, “Jarrett and I are getting married the day after

tomorrow. I’m hoping you would attend, Ms. Hudson. After all, we will soon be sisters–in–law. We’re going to be family,

aren’t we?”

Sadie couldn’t help her own sneer.

She cast a brief glance at the invitation, then looked up at Ophelia with a mocking gaze.

“Of course. I wouldn’t miss your wedding for the world, Miss Johnson.”

Sadie paused for a few seconds and injected a hint of regret in her voice. “It’s such a pity that Jarrett is bound to a

wheelchair. You’ll have to devote the rest of your life taking care of him.”

Her words fell like a bolt of lightning, striking right in the heart of Ophelia’s sore spot.

Everyone was well–aware of Jarrett’s disability!

Ophelia gritted her teeth, her nostrils flaring.

But Sadie continued to rub salt in the wound, seemingly oblivious to the other woman’s anger.

“You’re mistaken about one thing, though.” She cocked her head to the side and smirked. “Nathan is marrying into the Wall family. I doubt we would be family. Is the Johnson family trying to establish ties with the Wall family as well?”
